The NFIP
is authorized by Public Law 90–448
(1968) and expanded by Public Law 93–
234 (1973). The National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 requires that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) provide flood insurance at full
actuarial rates reflecting the complete
flood risk to structures built or
substantially improved on or after the
effective date for the initial Flood
Insurance Rate Map for the community,
or after December 31, 1974, whichever
is later, so that the risks associated with
buildings in flood-prone areas are borne
by those located in such areas and not
by the taxpayers at large. In accordance
with Public Law 93–234, the purchase
of flood insurance is mandatory when
Federal or federally related financial
assistance is being provided for
acquisition or construction of buildings
located, or to be located, within FEMA
identified special flood hazard areas of
communities that are participating in
the NFIP.

boundaries or zone designations, and/or
regulatory floodways (hereinafter
referred to as flood hazard
determinations) as shown on the

Each LOMR revises the Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases
the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports,

communities. The flood hazard
determinations modified by each LOMR
will be used to calculate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and
